US TAX REFORM IMPLICATIONS FOR CANADIANS Jeffrey Scheine Managing Director, Alchemy Capital Planning LLC June 13, 2018

US Tax Reform - 2018 • Major US tax legislation passed on December 22,

US Tax Reform - 2018 • Major US tax legislation passed on December 22, 2017 • Legislation entitled “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (TCJA) • Contained significant changes to both domestic and international tax provisions for individuals and corporations • Most provisions applicable beginning January 1, 2018 • Many provisions sunset in 2025 4

US Estate and Gift Tax Changes General Rules – Prior Law • US citizen

US Estate and Gift Tax Changes General Rules – Prior Law • US citizen or resident – 40% estate tax based on fair market value of assets owned at time of death • Estate tax exemption of US$5. 6 million for 2017 • Basis step-up on death • Canadian resident subject to US estate tax on US sitused assets – US stocks – US real estate – Partnership interests where partnership carrying on US business • Treaty permits Canadian resident to claim a prorated estate tax exemption – ratio of value of US situs assets to worldwide assets 5

US Estate and Gift Tax Changes Change in Law • Increases the estate tax

US Estate and Gift Tax Changes Change in Law • Increases the estate tax exemption to approximately US$11. 2 million for 2018 • Increased exemption sunsets in 2025 • Estate tax rate remained the same Impact on Canadian residents • Under Treaty, US estate tax should only apply if worldwide assets at death exceed the US$11. 2 million domestic exemption • Will need to file US estate tax return to claim treaty exemption • Sunset provision could reduce exemption after 2025 • Need to consider US rules to determine assets owned at time of death – Life insurance proceeds are included – RRSPs are included 6

Change in Tax Rates – Individuals and Corporations Changes • Maximum tax rate on

Change in Tax Rates – Individuals and Corporations Changes • Maximum tax rate on ordinary income for individuals and trusts reduced from 39. 6% to 37% • Long-term capital gains rate (more than 1 -year) for individuals and trusts remains at 20% • New 20% deduction for certain business and real estate ordinary income derived by individuals and trusts directly or through pass-through entities – Does not apply to passive income and services income (above certain thresholds) • Reduction in corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% Impact to Canadians • Consider owning US real estate and US business assets through a corporation instead of individually to take advantage of lower US corporate tax rate • Need to also take into consideration state taxes since some states that do not have individual income taxes have corporate taxes (for example, Florida) • Review existing investments to see if restructuring is required – Both US and Canadian tax considerations will need to be addressed • Ownership of US assets by Canadian corporations avoids US estate tax risk 7

Modifications to CFC Rules – Prior Rules General Rules – Prior Law • •

Modifications to CFC Rules – Prior Rules General Rules – Prior Law • • • A Canadian corporation will be a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) if more than 50% of its stock is owned by one or more US persons owning 10% or more of the voting stock. Family and entity attribution rules apply for purposes of determining stock ownership by US persons, however, no attribution from a non-resident alien. A “US Shareholder” is a US person or corporation owning 10% or more of the voting stock of a CFC. A US Shareholder is required to include in income currently its proportionate share of the CFC’s “Subpart F” income – Generally passive income (interest, dividends, capital gains and rents unless active) – If subpart F income is subject to Canadian tax at a rate equal to at least 90% of the maximum US corporate tax rate the “high-tax exemption” applies and no income inclusion required – Business income, rents from active real estate, US effectively connected income are not Subpart F income and no current income inclusion required If a US shareholder does not own stock for at least 30 days during the taxable year no income inclusion required under the CFC rules for such year (30 -day exception) 8

Classic Canadian Estate Freeze Structure Example of Impact of Change in CFC Rules: Canadian Parents 100% Redeemable Retractable Voting Preferred Shares Canadian Child 1/3 Non-Voting Common Shares US Child 1/3 Non-Voting Common Shares Canadian Holdco (Passive Investment Assets) 100% Canadian Opco (Active Canadian Business) 9

Modifications to CFC Rules Expanded Definition of US Shareholder • Effective January 1, 2018,

Modifications to CFC Rules Expanded Definition of US Shareholder • Effective January 1, 2018, definition of US Shareholder expanded to include US persons owning at least 10% of the vote or value of the CFC • Strategy of having Canadian parents retain voting power to avoid CFC status no longer works Elimination of 30 Day Rule • Liquidation during first 30 days of a CFC’s taxable year no longer avoids CFC income inclusion • Common planning technique of converting a Canadian corporation to an unlimited liability company (ULC) electing pass-through treatment following death no longer works 10

Modifications to CFC Rules (continued) Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”) • Active income

Modifications to CFC Rules (continued) Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”) • Active income potentially subject to current income inclusion under the new GILTI rules • Despite description does not only apply to income from intangibles • In general, covers all income (other than Subpart F Income and US business income) of CFC which is greater than a 10% return on the adjusted basis of depreciable tangible property of the CFC • Could result in tax on undistributed active business income • US corporate shareholders get a 50% deduction • Election by a US shareholder under IRC § 962 may reduce the tax on GILTI income – US shareholder subject to tax on share of GILTI income at US corporates (21% rate) – Can claim a credit for underlying Canadian corporate tax paid by CFC – However, when income is distributed to US shareholder, it will included in income, thereby resulting in double taxation 11

Modifications to CFC Rules (continued) One-time Repatriation Tax • • Generally applicable to a

Modifications to CFC Rules (continued) One-time Repatriation Tax • • Generally applicable to a US shareholder of a CFC having accumulated active earnings Must have been a US shareholder under prior law Similar election available to access Canadian corporate taxes paid, subject to limitations For calendar year CFCs with US individual shareholders the tax would be payable for the year ended December 31, 2017 Imposition of Tax • Include in income proportionate share of CFC’s undistributed earnings and profits (E&P) as at November 2, 2017 or December 31, 2017 (whichever is greater) • E&P will be taxed at a reduced rate of either 15. 5% or 8% (rate slightly higher for individuals) • Tax liability can be paid over a period of 8 years 12

Modifications to CFC Rules – Application to Canadian Corporations with US Shareholders Due to

Modifications to CFC Rules – Application to Canadian Corporations with US Shareholders Due to reduction in US corporate to 21% • More subpart F income may be eligible for high-tax kick-out – Canadian taxes in excess of 18. 9% will permit exemption to apply • IRC § 962 election with respect to GILTI income may significantly mitigate impact – Income taxed at corporate tax rate of 21% – Ability to claim a credit for Canadian taxes paid by CFC • Need to restructure Canadian corporations when shares are transferred by Canadian residents to US children upon death may be less urgent 13

Select Additional New Tax Provisions • Repeal recent court case holding gain on sale

Select Additional New Tax Provisions • Repeal recent court case holding gain on sale of partnership interest owning a US business is not subject to US tax • Anti-hybrid rule denying deductions for certain interest and royalty payments made by US taxpayers to related non-US persons • Net operating loss carryovers limited to 80% of taxable income • Additional limitations on interest deductions claims by US businesses (exception for businesses with US$25 million or less of revenue) 14
